U.S. drones last week targeted and wounded two leaders of al-Shabab, a Somalian Islamist group affiliated with al-Qaeda, the Washington Post reports. That makes Somalia the sixth predominantly Muslim country in which the U.S. has used drones.

Al-Shabab has been fighting the Somalian government since 2006. The U.S. accuses it of working with al-Qaeda to plan attacks outside Somalian territory. It is blamed for an attack in Uganda last summer that killed 76 people, including one American.
